The Sound Of The Jam takes an impressively comprehensive look at the back catalogue of one of Britain’s most influential bands.
Released to celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary, this 2002 edition brings you 26 tracks, including eleven Top 40 hits and four Number Ones.
One of the best anthologies of the band’s career so far, The Sound Of The Jam mixes key album tracks, lesser-known compositions and huge hits to brilliant effect.
As well as most of the band’s monster singles – ‘Going Underground’, ‘That’s Entertainment’, ‘Beat Surrender’ or ‘Town Called Malice’ anyone? – it includes enduring favourites like ‘Pretty Green’, ‘Saturday’s Kids’ and Ghosts’ which are not included on Snap!, the 1983 far-reaching compilation.
And as all the tracks are listed in chronological order, it’s an album that lays bare the progression and scope of this most British of bands.
